[OBSOLETE] SHM Delay Version 2.0

While it does say what I have entered for text, the number of times it repeats the message seems to vary between 2 or 3 times.

The message is triggered when the contact sensor opens. Is the sensor “bouncing” open/closed/open/etc? Otherwise I have no idea.

@muzicman82

After I dismissed those, and tested again, the next time I opened the door after delay, I got both instant alarm and a entry delay message simultaneously. Why?

Perhaps a motion sensor triggered the intrusion? Check the logs. If so add the motion sensor to the delay profile. Otherwise no idea.

@muzicman82

Slightly OT, but can ActionTiles display a countdown of the entry or exit delay time countdown?

Don’t know how to display the count down, you may be able to send it a notification message, however you can speak it.
Review the [Fully Kiosk Browser Controller thread] ([OBSOLETE] Fully Kiosk Browser Controller (DTH))
add something like this to the talker exit delay message

• A sample 30 second countdown (timings may vary on your system)
  {speak}Alarm system is arming in 30 seconds, please exit the facility. {break time="1s"/} 25 seconds{break time="3200ms"/}20 seconds{break time="3200ms"/}15 seconds{break time="3200ms"/}10 seconds{break time="3200ms"/}5{break time="750ms"/}4{break time="750ms"/}3{break time="750ms"/}2{break time="750ms"/}1{/speak}

The Talker module has an option to speak the armed status when it changes.

Also OT, but some indication on ActionTiles about when that delay has expired would be nice too… Like, for exist delay, showing when the delay state is counting, and then when the system is truly armed.

See above. Personally I don’t use entry count downs or speak the amount of time before intruder alert, it gives an intruder too much information.

For the record I’m now 100% on Hubitat, using many of the techniques I learned and developed on ST.
